Last day of Season 1 of Arrow

The journey started on the 10th March 2012. Twenty-three episodes of action, epic stunts, drama, laughter and a few shirtless moments and we’ve come to the last day of filming for Season one of Arrow.

I asked the cast and crew, via Twitter, what was the best memory for them filming Season one of Arrow. Here’s what they had to say:

“For me it’s always the moments with cast & crew; taking our jobs seriously yet with laughter & really enjoying the nights in the rain & wind working with actors & stunts. The days/nights in the trailer all of us enjoying the time & hours we spend together & doing good work!”

The Season One finale is one you’re going to want to watch live. Titled Sacrifice, the story is from Greg Berlanti and the teleplay is written by co-creators Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg. BamBam tweeted about the final scene:

Today I witnessed the last scene, in the last episode of season 1 of #Arrow while it was being shot. Unfuckingbelieveable. Wow.

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Arrow. They’ve worked long hours, spilled blood – both fake and real and created a lot of WOW moments. The stunts in Arrow have been incredible. James has choreographed some truly memorable fights. I know I’ve learned some moves.

Have a well earned rest and re-charge the batteries for Season Two. Oh boy!

It would be remiss of me if I didn’t finish off by sharing the amazing gift the Arrow stunt team presented Stunt Co-ordinator J.J. Makaro for the end of season. I’m blown away by the kindness and generosity of these guys.
